2013 Sub 3:20 and Beyond, Part 2

Dad - Those pics make me feel better, yes. Sorry to hear about DS1, Is that really a career-ending injury?

Literally no, He should, knock on wood, make a full recovery. But not before season is over and he's not good enough to play in college. I'm sure he'll do intramurals or club or something, but won't be the same. Maybe I can get him to start running again (he did two years of track). Hah!

Gpop -- talking about shoes is a great way to pass the time tapering; on on a bike in the garage.

Kinvara is great. It's my go to shoe and I'm rotating two. One pair is getting really old. It's 7.9 oz. I looking for something just a little cushier. For the easy, don't feel the road; feel your age day.

amuse -- baseball nails the shortstop in the cup and he rolling on the ground in pain and the trainer yells out "put ice on it"

OMR, sounds like you're catching on well to being a proper mileage trollop. Fabulous!

I had a funny thing happen on my run today. Wasn't feeling right, very stiff and slow, but on the way back, a couple standing with their bikes parked on the side of the path started clapping for me. No matter how schitty the run might be, how could that not make you laugh? Still smiling over it now.

Jim - that is Fonz, and those are adidas Adios I believe but other than that you were spot on

Justin - big game for yall today

Aggie - nice! I'm on my 15th pair of Ryjins and have pair #16 waiting in the wings. They were discontinued last year so they are getting harder and harder to find.

Omar - nice running for a tub of lard!

Go Vols!

So this morning's 20.5 had a little bit of everything in it, great weather, smooth easy miles, couple of emergency pit stops, almost got run over (twice) a 9:18 mile (15) were I was dizzy and walked for a minute and a 6:58 mile (19), the last 4 at MP per the plan. OA 8:08 and a good way to start the day. Soccer is done, watching the Vols win (for now) and planning a nap before mowing the yard..

NickS, that's some run! Don't like the almost getting hit and passing out parts but it makes for great TV... "Tonight on Lifetime, Diary Of A Shoe Fetishist Runner". Seriously, enjoy the rest of your day, sweet thing. Take it easy.

Dls, I love that, you bringing the smiles on an otherwise gloomy day, I'm positive that went highly appreciated by everyone you passed. Enjoy the celebration tonight.

I got passed by a guy with his mini pinscher on a leash today. I'm jogging along at 8:20ish and I get my a!ss kicked by a 12" dog. Wtf. But I figure I've still got him on the Tri. He can't ride a bike.

Justin - I was pulling for LSU. That was an exciting game. Sorry about outcome.

FB - more like 3000 miles. I retire the around 250. Why not go back to launch for a 9 oz shoe?

Gpops - just a few more runs this next week. I'm feeling good but my fast finish today had me feeling like a lard asz GIM. I blame it on heat, humidity and last nights beers cheering on the Fighting Texas Aggies and Johnny Football!

PJ -- racing hills. What could be better. Congratulations on the good OA finish. Nice distance too. get tired, don't get hurt.

Aggie, Doc, guys -- the shoe thing is pretty interesting. It turns out that I have a pair of the original GoRun in the bottom of my closet that I haven't taken very serious. So I cracked them out for yesterday's run and really like them. Enough padding to be comfortable, not a raised heel, and you get used to that funky padding under the arch after a while. Maybe this will replace the NB890s in the rotation. It's 8 oz, but it still seemed to have enough cushioning for my landing.

I might have worked out what I don't like about the 890s and the Launch (both traditional 9 oz trainers). I think it's the raised heel. Because of my weird feet, I think the heel makes it more difficult for me to roll inward.
